Health & Safety

Being a leader in the building materials industry means setting new health and safety standards. Health and safety is at the center of everything we do, from the daily routines in our plants to our customers’ work sites and our actions in our neighboring communities. Our aspiration is to conduct our business with zero harm to people and to create a healthy and safe environment for our employees, contractors, communities, and customers.

Our overarching value

At Holcim, we believe that “if we’re good in safety, then we’re good in business.” Health and safety is a critical success factor for our operational performance and not something we regard as a separate activity.

This is why it is seen as a core competency at all levels of Holcim’s organization, from site operators to top managers, and as a key component of successful personal performance.

At Holcim, we want to do more than prevent accidents: we want to conduct our business with a goal of zero harm.

To realize this aspiration, we are committed to:

Creating a healthy and safe environment for all stakeholders based on a true safety culture
Maintaining a global Health & Safety Management System designed to continuously improve our performance and actively manage risk in our business
Targeting operational discipline by instilling a mindset of safe execution and follow-up
Communicating openly on relevant health and safety issues.
